Version 2.2 (PR399) release notes:
The first official release of the new sequence diagram editor.
See Problem Report list for more information, in it there is a
small explanation on how to use the new sequence diagram editor.
Version 2.1 (PR394) release notes:
See Problem Report list for more information.
Version 2.1 (PR385) release notes:
See Problem Report list for more information.
Version 2.1 (PR378) release notes:
This is a test release, a few problems have been fixed. See Problem
Report list for more information.
Version 2.1 (PR369) release notes:
This is a test release it includes major changes. There is a new
sequence diagram editor!! Further the documentation generation is
altered now there are meta groups. See the problem report list for
more information, also there is a small explanation on how to use
the new sequence diagram editor.
Version 2.1 (PR353) release notes:
See Problem Report list
Version 2.1 (PR348) release notes:
Added new feature, to allow the definition and assignment of context. With
this feature it is possible to have conditional members, methods etc (see
PR346). For the other changes, see Problem Report list.
Version 2.1 (PR343) release notes:
See Problem Report list
Version 2.1 (PR340) release notes:
See Problem Report list
Version 2.1 (PR334) release notes:
See Problem Report list
Version 2.1 (PR331) release notes:
New feature Phase support added. It is now possible for some nodes in the tree
(e.g. classes, methods, members) to show the phase they are in. This phase is
represented in a state icon before the normal icon. The phase can be altered
manually, but in certain circumstances it is updated automatically. For example
if a method is in Phase Test or Complete and its code is altered, it will go
back to the Implementation Phase. Adding or removing members will effect
constructors in the Test or Complete Phase, they go back to Implementation.
These changes can ripple through upwards, so you get a very fast overview of
where work is needed. This new feature is not on by default, to keep things
compatible with previous versions. It can be enabled in the DataModel
dialog.
Version 2.0a PR326 release notes:
Changes with the previous released version are:
Some small bug fixes, plus and dependencies are now supported in class diagrams.
Further dotted and dashed lines are drawn natively, instead of using line styles,
so those lines should come out of the printer properly independent of the printer.
Version 2.0a PR319 release notes:
Changes with the previous released version are:
New feature (PR317) to allowed the drawing of relations between external
classes, this feature makes it also possible to have relations without code
generation.
Better update of code on type name changes (PR315, PR316 and PR318).
Various little bug fixes, most important are the ones related with undo/redo
(PR311, PR312).
Version 2.0a PR309 release notes:
The include files and thus also the precompiled version of the include file
have been changed. Several (Get) methods have become const (see PR294), this
can have influnce on existing code. It is possible that non const methods
used as filter method in an iterator will not compile any longer. The solution
is simple, just make those methods used as filter method const. Another thing
that can co wrong, but will compile is the following situation:
class Base;
class Derived;
class Owner;
Base <+---- Derived // Derived is inherited from Base
Owner <>---->> Derived // A one to many relation between Owner and Derived
The previous versions of ClassBuilder generates the following navigation method:
Owner* Derived::GetOwner()
The new version of ClassBuilder generates the following navigation method:
Owner* Derived::GetOwner() const
This is only a slight difference which will normally not effect the working of
existing code. If however the following definition is made at class Base:
virtual Owner* Base::GetOwner()
then the existing code can behave differently. Since the signature has changed,
the navigation method:
Owner* Derived::GetOwner() const
will not be virtual any longer. So every call to GetOwner on a pointer to a
Base object will be handled by method: Base::GetOwner, even if the object is
actually a Derived object. The solution is simple, make the virtual method at
class Base also const:
virtual Owner* Base::GetOwner() const
So check your code on this construct if you want to upgrade.
ClassBuilder is an Object Oriented front end to your C++ compiler, running
on Win95/98/NT. It lets you create, manipulate and navigate classes, class
relations, class members and class methods at a high level of abstraction
trough a graphical user interface. Its rich feature list includes:
- Class diagram editing (UML), with automatic layout.
- Code generation to implement associations/aggregations, with navigation
methods and iterators.
- Generation of Find methods on one to many associations/aggregations and
Get/Set methods on members.
- Wizards to insert iteration loops and navigation paths into the code of
methods.
- Code synchronisation with compile environment, changes made outside
ClassBuilder are noticed and read back.
- When used together with MFC, code can be generated to serialise the data
structure.
- Drag and drop support for: Adding a member to a class, adding arguments,
changing the order of arguments, etc.
- Documentation generation in RTF and HTML, so the documentation is always
in phase with the code.
- Changes made in the generated RTF documentation can be read back into
ClassBuilder.
This version may be freely distributed as is, without modification. The
program is fully functional, there are no limitations.
